I've just got hold of a copy of this book (three copies in fact, via the library at work) and am really excited about getting stuck into it. It's one the first, or only histories of motion graphics. An academic text focusing on and around the history of film and experimentation, rather than an account of broadcast design for television.
It's american, written by a practioner and academic called Michael Betancourt
I am going to introduce my new lecture series in the new year with the book. And follow it with a viewing of the short film below, by Motion + Design a really interesting project based in France.
